Rejected as Luna, Married as The Lycan Queen
On the night Seraphina Vale was supposed to become Luna, her fated mate rejected her in front of their entire pack.
After five years of loving Alpha Damon Blackthorn, Seraphina discovers that he has been secretly involved with her own stepsister, Vanessa, who is now carrying his child.
As if losing her mate weren't enough, Seraphina is falsely accused of stealing from the pack treasury. Stripped of her title, betrayed by her family, and banished from the only home she has ever known, she is left wandering the wilderness in her ruined wedding dress.
Until an unexpected encounter brings her face-to-face with Kael Draven, the powerful and mysterious Lycan King.
When Kael offers her his protection, Seraphina believes she has finally found a chance to rebuild her shattered life.
But the king has secrets of his own.
And when he offers the rejected, supposedly wolfless woman something far greater than protection, a place beside him as his queen, Seraphina must decide whether she dares to trust another man with her future.
The Alpha who discarded her may soon discover that the woman he threw away was destined for a crown far greater than his own.

Chapter: Beneath the Winter RosesMy room overlooked the winter gardens. Fresh clothes had been laid across the bed, and the maid told me a physician would visit before supper. She asked whether I preferred tea or something stronger to drink, as though I were an expected guest rather than a woman who had agreed to come only that morning.I thanked her and waited until she left before opening my traveling bag. My mother's hairpin lay wrapped in a handkerchief, its bent silver flower catching the lamplight.The physician examined my knee and assured me it was healing. After supper, I changed into the pale blue dress provided for me. Its sleeves were embroidered with tiny white flowers, and the fabric was softer than anything I owned.A few days ago, I had stood before another mirror in my wedding dress, wondering whether Damon would smile when he saw me. I had worried about the flowers, the guests, whether the ceremony would begin on time. I almost wished I could return to that morning for an instant, before I knew what

Chapter: The Road AheadBy morning, I had decided to go with His Majesty.I had spent half the night considering other places to stay, only to return to the same problem. The warning from Silvercrest would reach most of them before I did, and Alden's reply could take days.Elara helped me pack the borrowed clothes. I tucked my mother's hairpin into an inner pocket to protect its bent flower."You can have any letters forwarded to the palace," she said. "I'll see to it myself.""Thank you. For everything.""Thank me by getting that knee looked at again."Outside, two carriages waited beside the escort. I approached the second, but Kael called my name from the first."Will you ride with me? The seats are more comfortable."I glanced toward the soldiers, surprised by his offer."Would that be appropriate, Your Majesty?""I don't believe anyone intends to arrest us for it."I couldn't tell whether he was teasing. He seemed certain I wouldn't argue.The carriage accommodated my injured knee comfortably. I watched

Chapter: A Place Beside the KingVanessa found her mother directing servants outside the Luna's chambers, inspecting Sera's candlesticks."Those can stay," Marielle told a servant. "My daughter has no reason to replace perfectly good silver.""Mother."Marielle turned. "What happened? Has Damon upset you?""He's received a letter from the northern patrol. The Lycan King rescued Sera on the road."Marielle dismissed the servants and took Vanessa inside."You ought to rest. You've barely eaten this morning.""Damon hasn't stopped talking about her. He wants to know why the king intervened.""He's concerned about the Crown's involvement," Marielle said, handing her water. "Damon chose you, and you're carrying his heir."Vanessa set the glass down untouched. "And the servants ask me about the winter stores. As though I need Sera.""They'll learn to come to you.""She was supposed to leave with nothing. Instead, the king comes to her rescue. How is that fair?""A night's shelter won't restore her position.""What if he tak

Chapter: Under the King's ProtectionThe officer hesitated before bowing to Kael."As you command, Your Majesty."He gathered the notice and left us beside the table. My knee ached beneath my borrowed dress, and the bruises around my wrist had begun to throb again now that I was standing still."Will Damon be told that I'm here?" I asked."Silvercrest will be informed that you're under royal protection, and that its warning gives no one permission to detain you.""But the warning itself will stay?""Unless Silvercrest withdraws it, yes. Other packs can choose whether to heed it."I looked at the door the officer had closed. Damon had cast me out, yet he'd made certain the accusation would follow me beyond the boundary. I pictured the merchants whose shipments I'd arranged, the innkeepers who had welcomed me on trading journeys, and the clerks who used to send their questions directly to my desk. Some might remember the work I'd done. Others would see Silvercrest's seal and decide they couldn't risk offering me a bed, muc

Chapter: The King's Unexpected GuestKael's hand steadied mine as I climbed onto his horse. My injured knee protested, and I bit my lip to keep from crying out. He noticed anyway."Can you manage the saddle?""Yes, Your Majesty."He waited until I settled before taking the reins and leading the horse along the road. One of his men remained with the three riders who had tried to seize me. The other walked several paces behind us, his sword still drawn.I watched Kael's dark head beneath the branches. The Lycan King was walking through mud while I rode his horse in a ruined wedding dress. It seemed the kind of story someone would tell over supper, laughing at its absurdity.I could barely remember what laughter felt like.A lantern appeared between the trees. Then another. A stone outpost stood beyond a wooden gate, its courtyard crowded with horses and armed sentries. The guards straightened when they recognized Kael."Prepare a room," he told them. "And send for the physician."An older woman hurried from the doorway car

Chapter: The King on the Dark RoadI stayed beside the boundary stone until the evening bells were silent.The road had emptied. Beyond the trees, lights glowed in Silvercrest's windows, and people were sitting down to supper. Perhaps Damon was eating at our table while Vanessa told him about her exhausting day. I wondered whether he'd noticed the flowers I'd arranged there before the ceremony.I stood before my legs grew too stiff to carry me. The guards had given me a cloak, bread, and water. I fastened the cloak over my ruined wedding dress, tucked my mother's hairpin into my hair, and started north.I had never spent a night outside Silvercrest. Mama used to warn me about the woods beyond the boundary, and Damon had always insisted on accompanying me whenever we traveled. I could hear his voice telling me to keep close, as if he still had any right to worry where I went.Pine branches closed above the narrow road. Every rustle made me look over my shoulder. When I heard hooves, I stepped aside to let the riders pas
